Bold, Brilliant and Bad Bewertungen

a host of other neglected histories are retold her with gusto and admiration

-- IrishCentral.com

astonishing, true-life stories ... eye-opening anthology of audacious dames! Highly recommended, especially for public library World History and Women's History collections

-- Midwest Book Review

The badasses may be in a minority in Marian Broderick's delicious directory of 36 fascinating Irish women, Bold, Brilliant and Bad - and the oldest profession the only outlet for much entrepreneurialism - but their stories tower

-- Irish Times * Anne Harris *

I hope there's enough material for a third book and that you can find more unheralded Irish women that deserve to have their stories told!

-- Gavin Grace, Morning Focus * Clare FM *

fascinating
